Look up! LOL. Full bloom in July.

First the magenta bracts show up then after a while the green/yellow flowers grow out of the bracts, making the display last over months. Very entertaining.

The vine can get very large and heavy, and it is great for completely hiding a fence.

This Passiflora membranacea at Strybing Arboretum has completely engulfed a dead tree. The vines at the base are over 2" diameter.
